Apologies, I'm a complete moron.
If you compile python with gcc-3.3 and the module with 4.0, things
break. If I recompile numpy with gcc-3.3, you just don't get a
float80,96 or 128 type which as far as I'm concerned is fine; certainly
much better than it breaking. This is all on Mac OS X 10.4, I haven't
had time to look at what would happen with a python and module compiled
with 4.0. Sigh, the sooner we move these machines to Debian the better :-)
Cheers,
Mark
